Additionally East Riding of Yorkshire CCG will be procuring in a third lot a new wheelchair assessment and provision service to also commence in April 2016. The aim of the integrated community equipment service is to support health, social care and educational needs and to help alleviate risk and promote independence. It is required to provide a service for children and adults with physical or learning disabilities, long term conditions or mental health problems. Additionally many older people who do not see themselves as disabled but may be frail can certainly benefit from these services. The service could be said to provide equipment to assist with home care, or to assist with a programme of rehabilitation or to assist with independent living of people within the community. Therefore, the broad range of community equipment services to be covered by this service includes: - equipment for daily living, such as shower chairs and stools, bath lifts, raised toilet seats, teapot tippers and liquid level indicators - home nursing equipment such as pressure relief mattresses and commodes - children’s equipment - equipment for short term loan - wheelchairs for short and long term loan - sensory aids The vision for the service is to enable those in need of support to maintain their independence, health and well-being in their chosen home - To support people with long term conditions to be independent and in control of their condition - To help increase the number of people successfully discharged from hospital to their own homes - To help reduce the number of people entering more institutional forms of care - To help reduce the number of emergencies amongst people living independently that might result in more intensive services being required - To help increase the number of people live with dignity in their chosen environment, which is made safe and secure - To extend the healthy life expectancy of older people, preventing ill health or reducing the likelihood of falls or other accidents - To support people at the end of their lives in their preferred place of care - To support provision of care closer to home We are, therefore, looking for a provider(s) who can support our aims to maximise independence, reduce hospital admissions and promote early supported discharge from hospital. The provider(s) should be able to demonstrate a track record of delivery of high quality, timely, flexible service meeting all commissioner requirements, supported by detailed performance reporting to facilitate monitoring of maximum value for money.
